Lyrics and translation The Jam - Set The House Ablaze - Live At Hammersmith Palais, UK / 1981




Set The House Ablaze - Live At Hammersmith Palais, UK / 1981
Mettre la maison en feu - En direct du Hammersmith Palais, Royaume-Uni / 1981
I was in the pub last night
J'étais au pub hier soir
A mutual friend of ours said
Un ami commun a dit
He′d seen you in the uniform
Il t'avait vu en uniforme
Yeah the leather belt looks manly
Oui, la ceinture en cuir a l'air virile
The black boots butch
Les bottes noires, brutales
But oh what a bastard to get off
Mais quel salaud pour se défiler
Promises, promises
Promesses, promesses
They offer real solutions
Elles offrent de vraies solutions
But hatred has never won for long
Mais la haine n'a jamais gagné longtemps
You was so open minded
Tu étais tellement ouverte d'esprit
But by someone blinded
Mais aveuglée par quelqu'un
And now your sign says closed.
Et maintenant ton panneau dit fermé.
Promises, promises
Promesses, promesses
They offer real solutions
Elles offrent de vraies solutions
But hatred has never won for long
Mais la haine n'a jamais gagné longtemps
I think we've lost our perception -
Je pense que nous avons perdu notre perception -
I think we′ve lost sight of the goals we should
Je pense que nous avons perdu de vue les objectifs pour lesquels nous devrions
Be working for
Travailler
I think we've lost our reason
Je pense que nous avons perdu notre raison
We stumble blindly and that vision must be restored!
Nous titubons aveuglément et cette vision doit être restaurée !
I wish that there was something
J'aimerais qu'il y ait quelque chose
I could do about it
Que je puisse faire à ce sujet
I wish that there was some way
J'aimerais qu'il y ait un moyen
I could try to fight it
Que je puisse essayer de lutter contre ça
Scream and shout it -
Crier et hurler -
But something you said set the house ablaze!
Mais quelque chose que tu as dit a mis la maison en feu !
It is called indoctrination
On appelle ça l'endoctrinement
And it happens on all levels
Et ça arrive à tous les niveaux
But it has nothing to do with equality
Mais ça n'a rien à voir avec l'égalité
It has nothing to do with democracy
Ça n'a rien à voir avec la démocratie
And though it professes to
Et même si ça prétend
It has nothing to do with humanity
Ça n'a rien à voir avec l'humanité
It is cold, hard and mechanical.
C'est froid, dur et mécanique.
